Japanese manga, anime and video game cultures often use extensive and very psychedelic animations when they depict transformations (remember Sailor Moon?) and the summoning of supernatural forces. The recently released Pokemon fighting game Pokkon Tournament is no exeption.
If something that is described as “brain melting” just sounds more interesting to you and if you love the idea to be able to buy a ticket for one of Maurits Cornelis Escher’s nightmares then Antichamber might be just the game for you.
Jeff Minter has been designing video games since the early days of the medium. And since the very beginning an air of anarchy and trippyness has been a constant in his creations. Since Tempest 2000 he has been refining what I’d like to call the psychedelic “space” shooter (look here for Space Giraffe).
But he has released a game/ “light synthesizer” that is actually called Psychedelia as early as 1984.
Check out the man’s work! You won’t be disappointed.
Gingiva is a trippy and surreal RPG Maker game by John Clowder (myformerselves). If you are up to exploring some dreamlike logic and bizarre scenarios, you should give it a try.
